I know being empathetic and compassionate are generally seen as good traits, but MAN if I don't regret being as empathetic as I am sometimes... I get all torn up for like- the rest of the day if someone else is having a bad day I can't help with... Or hell, I even feel pretty trashy if a fictional character isn't having a very good time..
I guess I gotta hold onto it though... I dunno. Is it better to have too much, or none at all?
